GREETINGS:
It gives me great pleasure to extend welcome to
our new students. New experiences await you on all
sides:
the discovery of new ideas, the rcmance of
learning itself, new friends, new tastes, new values
and a new community to explore. Going away to college
for the first time is in itself exciting. I visualize
youth and vigor spilling over with energy and emotion.
We hope the peak of excitement which you now feel will
be maintained during the next four years.
These are the last formative years before you will
be obliged to undertake trulyadult responsibilities and
problems. Use them well to help your growth to maturity. You will be called upon to make many difficult
decisions. Scme times the going may be rough, but you
must learn to accept both defeat and success. Our staff,
as well as your faculty and the upperclassmen will
always be ready to lend a helping hand. We want your
next four years to be the most exciting, stimulating,
and satisfying adventure of your life. Do not hesitate to call on the staff of Waller Hall who are prepared and anxious to help you.
The best of luck, success, and happiness in your
next four years.
Ellen K. Lane
Dean of Women

committee of students, faculty, and prominent citizens.
These are the points of judgment:

GREETINGS:
It gives me great pleasure to extend welcome to
our new students. New experiences await you on all
sides:
the discovery of new ideas, the rcmance of
learning itself, new friends, new tastes, new values
and a new community to explore. Going away to college
for the first time is in itself exciting. I visualize
youth and vigor spilling over with energy and emotion.
We hope the peak of excitement which you now feel will
be maintained during the next four years.
These are the last formative years before you will
be obliged to undertake trulyadult responsibilities and
problems. Use them well to help your growth to maturity. You will be called upon to make many difficult
decisions. Scme times the going may be rough, but you
must learn to accept both defeat and success. Our staff,
as well as your faculty and the upperclassmen will
always be ready to lend a helping hand. We want your
next four years to be the most exciting, stimulating,
and satisfying adventure of your life. Do not hesitate to call on the staff of Waller Hall who are prepared and anxious to help you.
The best of luck, success, and happiness in your
next four years.
Ellen K. Lane
Dean of Women
